Minnaars Release Ideal & Error EP

• 13th Jan 2011

Leicester five piece Minnaars merge a multitude of influences into their trademark blend of sophisticated beats, staccato guitars and clever melodies, which manifests itself on their new four track EP 'Ideal & Error', released on the 10th of January through Strata Music.
Amalgamating techno on guitars with literary references ranging from Bukowski to Hunter S. Thompson they create songs that are energetic, frenzied, dark and intense.

The dark disco monster and leading track ‘Capricorns’’ thumping beats and gloomy synth mood are counterbalanced by ‘Amstrad Lions’ captivating catchiness. Crowd pleaser 'Busy Hands' hypnotises with driving beats and ecstatic chants while the lighter anthemic ‘Are Lovers’ vows with its upbeat drive.

Minnaars have toured extensively in the UK and Europe, playing the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds Festival, In the City and the NME Weekender, and are receiving praise from BBC 1, XFM and the NME.

'Ideal & Error' is released digitally on the 10th of January and the physical release will hit the shops in the UK on the 14th of February.
With their debut album in the making they now set out to conquer hearts and minds in Europe's clubs via the medium of irresistibly dancy tunes and their mesmerizing stage presence. Their seventeen date European tour is followed by a London show on the 19th of February at The Queen of Hoxton.
